No Accident (2023)
No Accident chronicles a shocking legal battle between everyday citizens and white supremacists in the civil rights trial against organisers of the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, USA, in 2017.
In real time and with intimate, behind-the-scenes access to the lawyers, their dedicated team and six of the brave plaintiffs, the HBO documentary chronicles the shocking turns over three years in this seminal civil rights trial.
The film has a 100% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes and earned a 2024 News & Documentary Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Current Affairs Documentary.
As Decider says, “This is a trial that is so much more than just a legal proceeding. No Accident documents nothing less than an early salvo in the war over information.”
